About

THE HOT SARDINES IN CONCERT:

In just a few short years, The Hot Sardines have gone from NYC underground favorite to international sensation with their fun, fresh take on golden age jazz. The music's spirit may hail from another era, but this ain't your grandparents' jazz -- the talented combo breathe new life into the classics with their foot-stomping energy, technical chops, and a willingness to take risks (live tap dancing, anyone?) that make their live shows both unpredictable and thrilling. From the blustering brass and skittering piano to the French musical influences of Paris-born frontwoman "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol, The Hot Sardines offer up an eclectic and electric concert experience ticket buyers can't get anywhere else.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

The Hot Sardines formed in Manhattan in the early 2010s after bandleader Evan "Bibs" Palazzo and singer "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol met via Craigslist and began  jamming together. The two instantly clicked over their love of music from the '20s and '30s, and before long they had assembled a talented group of musicians for their Sardine ensemble. The Hot Sardines released their debut album Shanghai'd in 2011, quickly taking the NYC jazz scene by storm with their adventurous sound and wild live shows. By 2012 they were performing to crowds of thousands in Paris, where they represented New York at the Festival d'Ile de France. Legendary performers who've released several acclaimed live albums and earned high praise from Forbes Magazine as "one of the best jazz bands in NYC today" by Forbes Magazine, The Hot Sardines continue to wow with their creative sound and unforgettable sets on tour.

    Hot Sardines were white hot!

    by snurtleneck on 3/1/22Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club - Portsmouth

    This band rolled out on time and were super engaging with their audience. The venue was perfect. Jimmy's Jazz and Blues club complimented this Jazz experience like a "Manhattan" compliments a comfy club chair and dark teak walls! The Sardines were on their game and obviously comfortable on this stage as if they were a house act.. They performed 2 shows on our night, my only regret was we didn't spring for tickets to stay for the 2nd show. We would have happily listened to the same set list twice in one night if it meant staying in the "electric" vibe we were all caught up in during their performance. The venue and this band at it, made for a magical evening we much needed and will now long for again.

    Great Concert too bad it was a little short

    by T. on 11/26/19Avalon Theatre - Grand Junction

    A truly unique and talented band! Very, very entertaining. So glad they are keeping alive the style and sound of jazz in the teens, 20's, and 30's. We had a great time, saw some talented musicians, and heard some good music. Loved the energy, humor, and short stories about early jazz musicians. Addition of tap dancer was fun. Wonderful lead singer! True entertainers. I appreciate their interaction with the crowd and the professional way they dealt with some minor hecklers and an exhibitionist dancer from the crowd. Too bad they started late, took a fairly long intermission break and finished a bit early. Great encore number but overall I thought the concert was 20-30 minutes shorter than I expected.

    Good, Not Great

    by LynnB on 11/24/19Avalon Theatre - Grand Junction

    I, We, were expecting more "jazz", and especially more oldies, ie 40's swing band and vocals.... and the show was about 4 tunes too short, 2 more in the first half, and esp, 2 more in the last half.... So somewhat disappointed in that. AND the sound was WAY too LOUD...would have been much more enjoyable with it toned down a tad.

    Amazing

    by Thaggresh on 11/24/19Avalon Theatre - Grand Junction

    The Hot Sardines are one of my favorite modern swing bands and it was such an honor to go see them. The techs did a good job with the sound and mixed them quite well. The only issue is that there wasn't enough dancing room, this is a band I have a really hard time just sitting still to and need to get up and move with the music. Well done everyone involved with the show, you did an excellent job!

    Fantastic night out!!!

    by abNORMal on 11/24/19Avalon Theatre - Grand Junction

    The Hot Sardines were one of the best performances we've ever experienced!! Each instrumentalist was a virtuoso. The vocalist's renditions were intricate and wonderful. The tap dancer was nothing short of astounding. And, in this case, the combination of these amazing talents produced a performance that was magical!!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO COME BACK!!! Ticket purchase online with pick-up at theater window was a breeze.

    Wonderful show; obnoxious patrons

    by Lee on 11/24/19Avalon Theatre - Grand Junction

    The concert was wonderful - lively, energetic, and Elizabeth has a great voice and stage presence. Unfortunately, a couple rows behind us were some rowdy (probably drunk or high) ladies who talked loudly and drowned out the music at times and distracted the audience with dancing in the aisles and up front, blocking the view. Ushers should have removed them to the back or lobby area for their dancing and noise making.

    Being a long time fan but never seeing them in person until last week I had some high expectations. Those expectations were met & surpassed! If you like Jazz check them out, if you don't like Jazz you will.

    Sensational

    by italiancan on 2/19/18Amaturo Theater at Broward Center - Ft Lauderdale

    Had never heard of this group- listened to them on you tube and purchased tickets for a group of 8. They were wonderful, different interpretations of old songs and a surprise tap dancer that was a delight. Bought their cd and will be following them for another great evening
